Presents
the Jimmy Cake
with
The Connect Four Orchestra
Whelans of Wexford Street
Saturday December 2nd
Doors 8:30
Admission £6
Between 1998 and 1999, Das Madman played extensively around Dublin city to sell out audiences in venues such as The Funnel, the Da Club and Whelans This sizeable collective was put on hold due to irreconcilable musical differences and the fact that almost every member of the outfit had their fingers in far too many musical pies. Here are a few of those;
Dead Plants, Luc and the Platelets, New Dark Age, Thinker Org, Herv, Zoeger, Repetitive Strain Industries, Phillip K. Dick, Rae, the operas "Obegon" and "Neshika", labels Front End Synthetics and Front End Productions, the Whispering Gallery and so on and so forth.
Around six months ago, Das Madman were asked to headline a gig by the now defunct Satan Clause. The band decided Das Madman was dead and a new approach and manifesto was needed. They opted for the Jimmy Cake and a subtler, more mature approach to music and the songwriting process in general. They also opted to change their name for every gig, the next two projected monikers being "Bag of Mickeys" and "Joined up Writing". Then they got to like the Jimmy Cake. It stuck. May god have mercy on their souls.
The Jimmy cake is now a nine piece incorporating full kit (sometimes played by two drummers), guitars, basses, two clarinets, trumpets, saxophone, garbage and other percussive waste, balalaika and accordion. The sound is not easily pigeonholed but comparisons have been drawn with krautrock and postrock pioneers such as Can, Faust, Tortoise and Godspeed You Black Emperor.
The Connect Four Orchestra were asked to play this show after their performance with said cake at the Cobblestone. The band hated it but were shouted down by the audience and the Cake.
Fresh from a 3 month break this walking, performing game of musical chairs are one of the finest live acts in Dublin at the moment, tipping their caps to, but never imitating the finer moments of the last fifteen years in underground American music; liquid melodies and top old skool synths abound. Do not miss.
thank you for your attention,
j.
